The zebra was one of four that escaped on April 28 from a trailer near North Bend in Washington state, Regional Animal Services of King County said in a media release. While the other three zebras were captured within a few hours, a mare remained on the loose. The mare “was safely rescued on Friday evening in the Riverbend neighborhood after being on the run for nearly six days,” animal services said. Shug’s owner reportedly had stopped just off Interstate 90 in the North Bend area to fix an issue with the trailer when the animals escaped, animal services said. The zebra’s days-long escape spawned memes and jokes, with local government agencies pitching in with edited images of the zebra around the state.

Quality has improved, and English wine is no longer mocked by continental neighbours who once joked it tasted of rain. English sparkling and still wine feeds into that narrative," he said. In the UK market for sparkling wine, English fizz accounts for 3% of volumes compared to Champagne's 12%.
